After a long wait, we finally bring you chorizo cured in Spain. You will immediately notice the difference between this chorizo and domestic imitations. Palacios, a company based in Logroņo, the capital of the La Rioja region, earned permission from the U.S. authorities to export chorizo to the U.S. in 1997, but it wasn't until 2001 that it started entering the country in any significant quantity. Palacios Chorizo does not contain any preservatives or artificial colors-- just pork sausage cured with paprika and garlic. They use a traditional process, using a secret 30-year-old family recipe. Its meat and natural ingredients are carefully selected, creating a smoky, earthy, sweet, and tangy sausage.

Finally, Americans can enjoy one of the true culinary treasures of Spain! Chorizo is excellent in stews, potages, omelets, paellas, or served as part of a tapas. It makes a statement, with a flavor so powerful that it does not influence a dish subtly.

Exactly like what I had at the Borough Market in London...out of this world! Use with rice, white beans, scrambled eggs, greens....the flavor is unmatched!

Good Chorizo But No Bargain

Chorizo by Palacios is an essential ingredient for most Spanish rice dishes. IGourmet is a reliable distributor and its prices are competitive with those of other suppliers. No bargains,however,as imports of Spanish meat products are grossly inflated even with the decline of the Euro and rise of the dollar. Spanish ham, for example, is ridiculously expensive and not worth the cost to most people.

Delicious smokey flavor; good sliced or cooked (e.g., in paella).

I can't stop eating it! Every bite brought me memories of Spain. Original Spanish chorizo with fantastic flavor. Alone or in combination with a good wine or beer and you won't regret it. Totally love it!

You get what you pay for.

Mediocre at best. Lots of inedible filler. Next time I will spend more to purchase a better quality product.

Great Flavor!

I like it best thinly sliced with Manchego cheese and apple slices with a glass of wine. I also added some thin slices to my chicken vegetable soup and it really added a wonderful flavor.
